Berkshire Hathaway Inc. disclosed those changes and several other tweaks to its stock holdings Wednesday in documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Berkshire said it held 18.9 million shares of Teva at the end of the year.

Besides investments, Berkshire owns more than 90 subsidiaries in a variety of industries, including insurance, utilities, railroads, and manufacturing.
